A Gym Goers Dream: Testosterone, Alcohol, Caffeine. Creatine is just the beginning.

Описание: Testosterone, Alcohol, and Caffeine.

In this video we’re diving into three massive parts of the modern Gym culture.

Test boosters, alcohol, and caffeine and how they're often misused, misunderstood, and over-marketed to you.

1. Testosterone Boosters:
If testosterone is a Schedule 4 drug. Meaning it requires a prescription in Australia.
What makes you think something sold at a local supplement store is going to change your life?

Test boosters sell you the dream but the truth is most ingredients (like tribulus, fenugreek, zinc) only help if you’re deficient.

Most users chasing test boosters aren’t looking for marginal improvements.
They want steroid-level results.

Which… these products will never deliver.

You could however: Get a blood test. Fix your vitamin D, zinc, magnesium if low. Sleep 7–9 hours. Cut down binge drinking (we’ll get to that). Lift consistently.

2. Australia's relationship with alcohol.
It’s social. It’s fun. It’s everywhere. But alcohol’s effects don’t stop at the hangover.

What actually drops after drinking: Testosterone, REM sleep, Mood AND Decision-making

All while Anxiety, Irritability, RHR and inflammation increase. Even two or three drinks can tank recovery by 20–40% (as tracked by my own WHOOP and other HRV monitors).

Its insane to think that there are 15+ alcohol-related deaths a day in Australia as well as 144,000 alcohol related hospital admissions every year.

I promise you that moderation isn’t the enemy.
But if your Sunday recovery is still ruined by Wednesday.
That is less than ideal.

3. Caffeine: The Crutch Disguised as Motivation
We all love caffeine. But how you use it really does matter.

There is a problem. Huge pre-workouts (300–400mg per scoop), Coffee at 6pm, Relying on it to mask poor sleep.

Caffeine’s half-life is 6–8 hours, meaning: If you take 400mg at 5pm, you’ve still got ~200mg in your system at 11pm.

That’s the equivalent of two long blacks still running through your brain… while you’re staring at the ceiling.

Caffeine also blocks adenosine, the hormone that helps you feel sleepy.
So instead of winding down, your brain is on edge. Even if you feel "tired."

You could fix it by - Capping caffeine before 2pm, Use smaller doses more strategically (100–150mg), Cycle off occasionally to reset tolerance.

Test boosters won’t fix your lack of sleep.

Alcohol won’t fix your stress.

Caffeine won’t fix your poor schedule.

These things are tools to be used properly. But when misused, they become a crack in the system.

Shoot me a DM if you’ve got questions about your training, recovery, or even if you just feel stuck.
